  • Hey Tough Guy

    I see you on your bike, leather jacket on and sunglasses hiding your eyes, those windows to the soul. You sit as a king sits on his throne, powerful and revered.

I realized through the course of the conversation that my father (again) was ahead of his time in realizing the damaging… Read more
